McBride, M. ORCID: 0009-0000-3288-5438 (2025). The Code and the community nurse: prioritising people. British Journal of Community Nursing, 30(5), pp. 215-216. doi: 10.12968/bjcn.2025.0063

Abstract

The ‘prioritising people’ section of the Nursing and Midwifery Council's code is relevant to nurses working in all settings and ensures that the needs of the patients in their care are adequately met. For those working in community teams, therapeutic relationships can be fostered more effectively in the patient's familiar surroundings. However, there are often challenges in achieving this target. The author addresses the nuances of maintaining professional boundaries while caring for patients in their homes and the additional factors that need to be considered when delivering effective care with dignity and compassion.
